Every chef has a unique story to tell. On this week’s podcast we chat with Mia Le Tendre, chef and co-owner of Strange Town, the globally inspired plant-based small plates restaurant on Milwaukee’s reinvigorated East Side.
During our conversation, we trace her food journey back to her childhood growing up in Central Wisconsin, her experience working her way through film school and the development of her passion for fresh, locally inspired flavors. Along the way, she shares the philosophies which guide her work at Strange Town, the inspiration behind dishes like the gorgeous sea vegetable salad and the joys of gaining diners’ trust.
